Also make sure you check out Military Miniatures Warehouse and go into "Other Historical Periods," then "French and Indian War & other 17th/18th century (including Pirates)" and "Indian Plains Wars (Custer's Last Stand, etc.) & America's Wild West"

Oooh, execellent!  Another good link!  Thank you very much!

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

It might help to specify what era? Tribe?

Well, to be honest, I had not really quite thought about that point too much.  I am thinking Southwestern tribes, like Apache, Navajo, Hopi, etc.  But Great Plains would work too, Blackfoot, Chyenne, Commanche, Sioux, Crow, etc.  The biggest factor for me is traditional dress.  Male preferably.  Not looking for Army scouts with rifles.  Traditional wear and archery equipment mainly.

Hey Camo Junkie,

Just checked Verlindens website.  They do have a couple of full body 120mm figures, but they are dressed like scouts (blue jackets and rifles).  I was looking for more "traditional" dress.  They also had one 200mm bust, but it was of a Mayan....I am looking for North American Native American's.

But thanks for the suggestion!

Hey folks,

My Google skills are obviously pretty bad since I can't seem to find what I am looking for.  I am interested in finding some Native American bust figures (first choice) but lacking that I'll take full body figures.  Not looking for super small scale (definately bigger than 1/35, but not necessarily HUGE).  Anyone able to help me find what I need I would appreciate it!
